Xie Niushan’s attitude toward those random women was indeed straightforward, so Xie Qiao was glad that there were no eyesores in this house.
At that moment, the girl who was gotten rid of was dumbfounded.
Was this Xie Niushan a good-looking but useless person?!
The master had asked her to take action because he had specially inquired about it. She was somewhat similar to the three daughters of the Lin family, so she must look very similar to Xie Niushan’s second wife, Ms. Lin!
If she pretended to be weak again, a vulgar man like Xie Niushan would definitely not be able to resist her!
She did not expect that… after spending so much effort, she would only touch the bottom of his pants? And she was chased out now?
At that moment, this girl could not help but wonder if she was incomparably ugly…
She felt wronged and angry, so she could only return to report.
Xie Qiao kept herself busy for a while, then she went back to do revision with Fang Muxue and the others.
It was very enjoyable to play while learning.
…
On the other side, there were customers at the Fortune Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Chang realized that something was wrong, so he sent her a message.
The next afternoon, she went to the Fortune Pavilion to take a look after school.
“Boss, there have been many customers recently. There are often some rich young ladies who come over and are picky. They always ask strange questions…” Shopkeeper Chang really did not know why.
A young lady ran to him and asked if the boss was an old witch in her 30s or 40s…
The boss was indeed in her 30s or 40s, but she looked very young. How could she be considered old?!
However, she was a customer and he could not criticize her.
Just as Shopkeeper Chang finished speaking, Xiao Yurong walked in from outside.
“Oh, Teacher Xiao has been coming here frequently these days,” Shopkeeper Chang quickly added.
Xie Qiao’s scalp tingled when she saw Xiao Yurong. She touched her face and walked over calmly with her head held high. She said kindly, “Junior Brother Xiao, are you here to buy talismans again?”
Xiao Yurong shook his head.
He seemed to have suffered a big blow. He was not in good spirits at the moment. When he saw “Mo Chusheng”, he forced himself to be alert and bowed respectfully, then, he said, “I bought many things, but I haven’t used them all. I came today to look for Senior Sister.”
Shopkeeper Chang could not help but mutter secretly.
He definitely would not be able to use them all!
At first, Teacher Xiao liked to buy Academic Excellence Talismans the most. Later on, he stopped buying them. Now, he took a fancy to the wood carvings that the owner sold!
There were all kinds of wood carvings. There were carvings of people, horses, even palanquins and houses. He liked all of them. Every now and then, he would come over and pick the ones he liked. He wished that he could buy everything!
However… Those things were supposed to be bought by the living and burned for the dead!
Those who did not know better would think that something terrible had happened to Teacher Xiao’s family!
Xie Qiao and Xiao Yurong went to the private room and sat down.
Xiao Yurong was very embarrassed. In front of Xie Qiao, he was like a younger brother. “Junior Brother, I heard that there are some bad rumors in the court recently… It’s about the Crown Prince…”
“Yes.” Xie Qiao nodded in cooperation.
“The Fourth and Fifth Prince both said that the Crown Prince and Senior Sister… are having an affair… Of course, I don’t believe it! But in the long run, it will affect Senior Sister’s reputation…” Xiao Yurong said quickly.
“It doesn’t matter.” Xie Qiao looked calm.
As a master, how could she be drowned by spittle?
When Xiao Yurong heard that, his heart turned cold. “Senior Sister is pure and innocent. Those people almost made you into a demon that could bring disaster to the country. How could it not matter? The Crown Prince is too. He has been staying at the East Palace for the past few days. I haven’t seen him either. Otherwise, I will make him give Senior Sister justice!”
